WHO WON??
We hosted 32 players with plenty of family and friends at the Chewelah Court Center on Saturday. While our main purpose was to create a fun event to meet new friends and enjoy the company of old favorites we also raised over $1,500 to help with court maintenance.
We gave away four paddles from great companies, a gift basket from the Chewelah Farmers Market, jars and jars of pickles, goodie bags, and homemade roasted turkey sandwiches for all the participants (with homemade bread)!
We also hosted three local vendors with Firefly Pickleball there to demonstrate their paddle prototypes, 15-year-old Ella sharing her huckleberry scones, and the Stapp kids serving up huckleberry Italian sodas.
James & Julie Gish did a great job running the tournament while our three co-directors (Sue, Patty, and Caleb) organized the volunteers to set-up and tear down the logistics that made the tournament possible.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR CHAMPIONS!!! May your jar of pickles sustain you always!
